Chapter 4
Harry groaned as he opened his eyes. It had been a week since he had arrived. The first night of sleeping between Loki and Tony was embarrassing but it was the most relaxed he had ever been.
The days seemed to fly-by after that. Jor came in and out to explain exactly what a Dokkalfar was before doing another round of morning treatments. After Jor left, Loki would come in with lunch. After lunch, Harry would read one of the many books. Harry would always manage to get halfway through before dinner happened. Tony would always bring it up to him. Then after dinner, Harry would go back to reading and he would finish the book right before his potion to go to sleep. It had been like this for a week, the only really exciting bit was he moved into his own room, which looked amazing. But what he did notice was that Loki wasn't normally around except for lunchtime. It was as if the male was doing something and it worried him.
Hedwig seemed to have arrived sometime last night from her sleepy hoot. "Night, Hedwig," he said with a soft smile. He was happy that Hedwig was here. She was never confusing.
"Good morning, young sir, Jor has alerted me to tell you that after scanning you yesterday night, you were allowed to move around the building," Jarvis said.
That was another thing Harry had been forced to get used to. Don't get him wrong, though, he didn't mind it. Jarvis often helped him out when he struggled with a word, he had even alerted Tony and Loki when he had a panic attack once. He had worried about Dumbledore coming for him but Loki had promised that he had put wards up the instant that Loki had moved in.
"Can I make breakfast?" Harry asked hesitantly.
Tony had lectured Harry about how the boy had no chores - other than keeping his room clean - and that's what the maids were for. He had even told Jarvis to alert him when Harry wanted to do something and to prevent it unless Harry loved it. "Do you wish to cook?"
"Well, I am getting hungry," Harry stated as if it was a fact.
"I can order something," Jarvis said casually.
Harry was nervous about all of this. He didn't want to be spoiled, it still felt like too much. He had just grown to accept the room, for now, and he didn't want to stress anyone out."Jarvis...please...I just want to cook," Harry said softly.
Jarvis was silent for a moment as if talking to someone else, he was sure it was either Tony or Loki. "Your father asks if you would be willing to make him coffee and to come down to the lab."
Harry deflated a little. Was he going to get lectured? Was he going to get grounded? Harry nodded his head and followed Jarvis's lights to the kitchen. "Sir likes his coffee black, I've already started the coffee pot and it should be finished. Sir has also informed me that, if you would like something to drink, now would be the time to get it." Harry made Tony's coffee and grabbed a bottle of water before following Jarvis's lights to Tony's lab, albeit on shaky legs. Waiting for Jarvis to open the door, he walked in, seeing his dad working on something. The music was turned down so it was just background music.
"Uh...Dad?" Harry managed out. He had been trying to call Tony ‘Dad’ more often because it seemed to give him a boost of pride.
"Harebare!" Tony called out excitedly before putting the tools down and taking the coffee. Taking a drink of it, he sighed happily. "Alright, the reason I had Jarvis bring you down was so I can explain why you’re not making breakfast today."
Harry deflated more at that bit, then perked a little hearing that it was just not 'today'. "Okay...?"
"Jarvis, how many people will be in the tower today," Tony asked calmly.
"Well, sir, Dr. Banner, Thor, Loki, Loki's six children, Natasha, Clint, Steve, Bucky, Peter, Harley, and you two, sir," Jarvis listed off.
"That's not so bad," Harry admitted, confused by what his father was trying to tell him.
"I've seen Thor, Loki, Steve, and Bucky all eat enough for ten men each," Tony said calmly.
"So what, that's like...47 people?" Harry asked, confused.
"Loki's children can probably eat just as much," Tony informed, trying to see how much Harry was willing to shoulder.
"That...that's 107?" Harry asked weakly.
"I would never ask you to cook for that many people, Harry, I ordered food for all of us. You only just got cleared by the big snake, let your body adjust, Harebare," Tony said as he placed his hands on Harry's shoulders lightly.
"So it's not that I've done something wrong...but because you don't want me stressed?" Harry asked softly. He saw the logic in that. Food enough for 107 people... that was too much.
"Yes, remember what I said on Wednesday? You were in a stressful environment, it's time to just relax and let your body adjust. Let me and Loks take care of you," Tony said as he looked at Harry.
Harry let his shoulders drop. "Okay..." He had been really hoping to make everyone breakfast to thank them, though.
"This isn't a punishment, Harry, this is me being worried about you doing too much at once. If you still want to cook, it can be something light but not the whole meal, alright?" Tony said, hoping to appease him a little
"Can I make biscuits?" Harry asked softly. A flicker of hope was in his eyes that seemed to melt his father a bit.
"Biscuits as in your cookies or biscuits as in rolls?" Tony asked curiously. It had been an ongoing thing between the two over the week. The language and slang barrier.
Harry couldn't help but smile a little teasingly. He felt comfortable enough to do this much, at least. "Biscuits."
Tony stared at Harry for a while longer before he sighed. "That's fine," he said, giving up a little on trying to figure it out. "But save me some! Thor would eat everything if we let him!" Tony whined. Tony had only given in so easily because he was happy that his son felt calm enough around them to do that.
"What did you order for breakfast?" Harry couldn't help but ask curiously.
"A bit of this and that, you'll have something to choose from, Harebare," Tony said with a smile as he picked up his tools again.
"...Where is Loki?" Harry asked, trying to be casual about it.
"Out searching," Tony said just as calmly.
"For what?" Harry asked curiously.
Tony stopped for a second, thinking of what to say before smiling. "A surprise for you. Now, no more questions about this subject, I don't want to spoil the surprise," Tony said as he looked at Harry with a soft smile.
Harry pouted but he sighed. "Fine."
"We heard back from the Weasleys," Tony said as he focused on what he was doing.
"How are they?" Harry asked nervously.
Tony sighed as he carved in a symbol. "Turns out, the two youngest weren't even Weasleys. Arthur chased his wife off, and we will be having the whole Weasley clan over for a week," he explained calmly.
"I see," Harry muttered as he stood there. Ron and Ginny weren't Weasleys? And all of them were coming? Would he finally get to properly know Charlie...and finally get to meet Bill?
"Harebare?"
Harry looked up to see Tony looking at him. "Hmm?"
"Want to help your old man?" Tony asked curiously.
"Are you sure I won't break it?" Harry asked nervously.
"Yeah, Loks warded this whole room. Anything that is magical won't interfere while in this room," Tony said with a smile. "Besides, I am just carving runes into my Iron Man suits so if you need to hop into one, you're safe," he explained.
"I...I probably shouldn't," Harry managed out with a wince.
"Suit yourself," Tony said with a soft smile as he focused back on what he was doing.
"How...How is it going with the AWC and ICW?" Harry asked after a moment.
"The AWC gave us a bit of a headache, but once they realized I was part of a cursed old family, they instantly bent backward to make sure we were allowed to get protection. The ICW on the other hand allowed it instantly when we said your name and Loki's name," Tony explained as he grabbed another piece.
"Alright. Where will the Weasley's be staying?" Harry asked curiously.
"Loki bought them a cottage in a wizarding district. He has teleport portals permanently placed so they can come and go as they please," Tony explained. "Speaking of Loki, his sons will be coming over for dinner. Everyone but the Weasleys will be here, they will arrive tomorrow. Loki wanted me to ask when you wanted to be adopted. Do you want the Weasleys to be here or would you like to do it before they get here?" Tony asked, looking at Harry.
"Jor suggested that I be put to sleep while changing...I'd like for them to be here for the reveal...so maybe I could take it the night before...and come out of my room when they arrive?" Harry suggested.
"Sounds good to me. Mind if Loks and I stay with you through the night?" Tony asked curiously.
"No, I don't mind," Harry replied quickly.
"Alright, want to help me here or go make your biscuits?" Tony asked curiously, trying to see if Harry was just hesitant or if he had no interest at all.
"...You'll probably get more work done if I went and made my biscuits," Harry said with a weak smile.
"I don't care about that right now, Harebare, what do you want to do?" Tony asked, looking at Harry.
"..." Harry bit his lip as he looked at Tony. It was like pulling teeth when trying to figure out what they wanted. He had gone from an abusive home that wasn't even his home to having to decide what he wanted and what he wanted to do. Looking down, he weakly spoke. "I...I'd like to go cook."
Tony smiled sadly at Harry. "Alright, Harebare. Go on ahead," he said with a smile. "Breakfast should be here within the hour so you have until then before it starts to become chaotic," Tony explained.
Harry nodded his head and made his way upstairs towards the kitchen with Jarvis's help. Once he was there, he sighed as he let himself relax a little. Time to start with the biscuits. He pulled out everything he needed and started to make the sweet treats he fully planned on hoarding away from everyone. He would obviously save some for his father and Loki but other than that, he would hide them in the mini-fridge that Tony had insisted upon since Harry had been stuck in his room for a week while healing. He decided he would make a variety. Chocolate chip, peanut butter, gingersnaps, double chocolate chip cookies. He could make the dough for those and separate them into cookies but he would have to freeze them for 24 hours. He could make the no-bakes today. With that decided, he got to it.
Four batches and a pot full of boiling mixture later, Harry heard footsteps. Food must be here. "Holy shit, kid."
Harry didn't recognize that voice so it must be one of the men his father kept talking about. One of the Avengers. Looking at the mess he made, he understood the 'holy shit'. The sink was full of dishes and the counters were covered in cookies on parchment paper. Maybe he went a little overboard. "Bucky what's wro-" Harry now knew who those two were. Dad liked to rant about them, after all. Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, and Bucky Barnes. Okay, he could do this.
"I left room for the food that is to arrive," Harry said calmly as he checked on the cookies. Nope, still too hot. Looks like he would be able to move them around after breakfast. That's fine, not like he wanted to have one before. Oh, who was he kidding, he wanted one so bad.
"Kid...are you stress baking?" the one now known as Bucky asked.
"...Yes, yes I am," Harry said, finally deciding it would be good to admit it. It wasn't the plan at first. He had just honestly wanted some biscuits, but after that meeting with his dad, it turned into stress baking.
"Are you going to continue?" Steve asked cautiously.
"...Probably after breakfast. Jarvis?" Harry called out hesitantly.
"Yes, Harry?" Jarvis called out.
"We are gonna need more sugar... and maybe flour... I might make cupcakes after lunch...or maybe even a cake..." Harry muttered to himself as he looked at the dishes, wondering if he should do them now or after breakfast.
"Shall I just put in a big order of these ingredients, sir?" Jarvis asked.
"Sure thing, Jarv," Tony called out teasingly. "And alert the maids that they will have more dishes than normal, too," Tony said with a teasing tone.
"Dad!" Harry quickly turned around with a blush.
"Harebare," Tony said with a smirk. "That's a lot of dishes for baking."
"Uhhh." Harry fidgeted nervously.
"How many batches did you make to use all of my sugar and all of my flour?" Tony asked curiously.
"I uhh... Four...No five...Party-sized batches." Harry managed out nervously.
"And how big are these party-sized batches?" Tony questioned.
"...Each batch can make 10 dozen cookies," Harry admitted.
Tony huffed out a laugh. "What's so funny, Tony?" Loki asked as he strolled in.
"Oh nothing, Loks, just that our kid has just made 50 dozen cookies while being stressed about your kids coming today," Tony said as he motioned to Harry.
"To be clear, I only officially made 10 dozen, the others are chilling for 24 hours to enhance the flavors," Harry said nervously, trying to defend himself.
"Cookies for breakfast? That's new, even for you, Tony," a female said as she strolled in. Harry looked over at her and he tried thinking. This must be either Pepper or Natasha.
"Hey kid, name's Natasha, just go ahead and call me Auntie Nat, though," she said with a wink. Okay, so she was Natasha. But to call her Auntie Nat?
Harry nodded and he sighed, best to just agree. Other than that, so far so good. He's met Natasha, Steve, and Bucky. Now he just needed to meet Clint, Thor, and Bruce. Then the rest of his step-siblings? Or would they be half-siblings since he was being blood adopted? Harry decided that, regardless, they were siblings so he would address them as such. Which siblings did he know? He knew of Sleipnir, and Jormungandr. Apparently, he also knew Hel? Harry took a deep breath. He could do this. They were just family.
"I have brought the feast with friends Barton and Banner!" Harry winced as he heard a loud voice boom from the elevator.
"Thor, you brute!" Loki scolded as he waved his hand and the bags were grabbed with magic and placed on the big island before pushing Thor back into the hallway while Burce and Clint got out.
"Brother! I see you are here today!" Harry heard Thor exclaim happily.
"Yes, I wished to talk with my significant other and his child...the same child that will be of my blood soon," Loki drolled on. Harry could just imagine the eye roll.
"Ah! Yes! Where is the young lad!" Thor asked as he poked his head into the kitchen.
"Thor!" Loki protested but was pushed into the kitchen regardless.
"Uhhh right here?" Harry questioned as he raised his hand.
"Ah! My soon-to-be nephew!" Thor said loudly as he strolled over to hug him. Oh god. Giant man charging at him.
"Nope!" A portal appeared and two men came out. One had red hair and blue eyes, while the other had black hair and green eyes. Both were tanned with freckles. The one with red hair put himself in front of Thor while the black-haired one hurried over to Harry.
"You’re not allowed to hug him!" the black haired one called out as he picked up Harry and got him to a corner.
"Ah! Narfi! Vali! My nephews!" Thor called out happily as he hugged the redhead.
"Yes, yes, hello Uncle Thor!" the redheaded male groaned out happily as he hugged Thor back.
"How are your studies going, young Narfi!" Thor asked the male in his arms.
"Great! Uncle Thor," the one that was now known as Narfi said.
"You okay, Harry?" the black-haired male asked worriedly.
"Y-Yes, a little spooked and confused but fine overall," Harry said, looking at the male, confused.
"I'm Vali. The one over there distracting Uncle Thor is my twin, Narfi," Vali explained. "We are Loki's youngest...or at least until he blood adopts you," he said with a soft smile.
"Ah," Harry said softly. "Thanks for the save," he muttered softly.
"Jor warned us siblings about your injuries and gave predictions of his own. He may be short for our kind but he is still a giant compared to you mortals," Vali explained.
"Good thinking on his part," Harry said seriously, making Vali smile.
"So I heard you are applying to Ilvermorny," Vali said as he looked at Harry.
"Yeah, we decided on it after I was sorted out. Lo-Loki said that it would be a better place because you two are the headmasters there," Harry admitted.
"Yes, Narfi and I are both headmasters at Ilvermorny. We have a lot more freedom here than in Britain," Vali said with a huff. "Creature laws are a pain to deal with," Vali couldn't help but grumble.
"Jor said I would be a Dakka..." Harry scrunched up his nose hating the word that always left him tongue-tied. "Dakka.." Harry huffed, crossing his arms.
"Are you trying to say Dokkalfar?" Vali asked curiously.
"Yes!" Harry said as he pointed to Vali. Said male laughed happily.
"Alright, try it with me. Dok-kal-far," Vali said as he coached Harry through the word.
"Dok-kal-far," Harry said as he made the same expression Vali made.
"Good job," Vali said with a smile.
"We can work everything around that, so you don't need to worry. Dokkalfar are actually idolized here. Not as much as famous wizards but no one will really mess with you," Vali explained.
"Alright, I'm here!" Jor called out as he entered with a dog following him.
"Who's the mutt?" Tony instantly asked.
"Harry's godfather," Jor said teasingly as he made his way towards Harry. Throwing a spell at him, he looked over the results. "Alright, you're fine for now, Harry, I'll be back at lunch. I have to go finish up some things."
"Alright, thanks for checking on me, Jor," Harry said with a soft smile.
"Always," Jor said before messing up Harry's hair and moving back to the center of the room to where the dog looked like it was gaining its bearings. "Tony, don't get near it, I can't guarantee that it won't bite. I checked him over for everything and gave him the all-clear but he is still well..yeah."
"What does that mea-Oh shit," Tony called out as the dog shifted in the middle of the room. There stood a cleanly shaven male with shoulder-length hair and mischief in his eyes.
"I'm surprised you haven't shifted to prank him," the male said as he looked at Loki.
"No, I leave the shifting pranks for my brother," Loki said with a chuckle.
"That's not funny brother, you know I like snakes," Thor instantly protested.
"Which makes it all the more hilarious, brother," Loki teased.
"I was surprised when I learned that you actually had children, Loki," The male said.
"Yes, Well, Sirius, when a man comes to a point in his life, he’d rather have children than be all alone," Loki said seriously.
"Speaking of kids!" Sirius clapped his hands together. "Where's my prongslet?" Sirius said in a deadly tone as he stared at Loki with a deadly look in his eyes.
"Your godson is over in the corner talking to one of my youngest," Loki explained with a smile. "Vali, bring Harry over here, please," he called out.
"Vali, who's that exactly?" Harry asked nervously.
Vali smiled as he looked at Harry "Someone that knew your dad really well. Want me to carry you?" he offered.
Harry hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I can walk," Harry said nervously.
"Alright, come on," he said, offering his hand.
Harry reluctantly took the older male's hand and walked with him over to Loki and Sirius. "Harry, this is your godfather, Sirius Black," Loki explained. "He was wrongfully accused of giving your parents up to the noseless idiot," Loki continued on.
"So you were who I was supposed to end up with?" Harry asked hesitantly.
Sirius smiled weakly. "No, you were supposed to go to your godmum, Alice Longbottom. As much as James saw me as family, he knew I wasn't in the right mindset to take care of kids at the time. If she couldn't take you, then it was to be me," Sirius said softly.
"W-Where does Lily Evans fit into all of this?" Harry asked Sirius gently.
"Lily..." Sirius sighed deeply. "Lily was a sweet girl... We found out she was related to the Blacks through a squib line. I added her to the family tree, and she married your father when he found out he was pregnant. We made it look like she was the one to be pregnant, and James quit the Auror force. Told me and Lils all about his little hook up with Mr. Fake Top over here." Loki snorted and Tony just pouted. "She wasn't your mum...but she did love you like her own. But we have time for stories later. Hello, Little Prongslet," Sirius said with a smile.
"Prongslet?" Harry questioned softly.
"Your father and I have animal forms. Your father's was a deer, so we nicknamed him Prongs for his antlers. When he had you, we started calling you Prongslet," Sirius explained.
"...I...Um... Can I ask you something and you not look at me weird?" Harry asked hesitantly.
"Sure thing," Sirius said with a smile.
"Does Padfoot and Moony mean anything to you?" Harry asked weakly.
"..." Sirius smiled weakly. "Your father's nickname for me was Padfoot. My animal form is a grim. When I first transformed, I was so nervous I started chewing on my paws. Until I perfected the transformation, then I stopped chewing on them," Sirius explained. "Moony..." Sirius sighed as he rubbed his neck. "You were supposed to go to Moony if I couldn't take you. But that damned man's cowardice and love for Dumbledore put you where you were," Sirius said with a huff.
"So...No Moony?" Harry asked softly.
"No Moony. I was released 2 days ago, Harry, I waited for him. I wanted to see if he would show his face. Come sniffing back for any kind of relationship," Sirius managed out.
"He failed you, too...didn't he?" Harry asked weakly.
"Remus knew I would never hurt James. He was my blood brother. I made two vows when you were born. One to protect your father at all costs so you would have him, and the other that I would be the best godfather I could be for you. I failed because of that coward. He insisted that I was too obvious, and he then suggested Peter. The only way I would forgive him is if he was under potions and being controlled," Sirius said before he righted himself and fixed his clothes a bit.
"Speaking of. Sirius, can I talk to you over here for a bit?" Loki said casually.
"Sure," Sirius said before looking back at Harry. "I'm not leaving your side anymore, Prongslet. If I do, it's to protect you," He said before he turned and followed Loki.
"Come here, Harebare. Let me introduce the rest of the Avengers to you." Harry moved over to Tony. Tony led him over to Thor and two other men. "Harebare, this is Thor, Loki's brother."
"Hello! Son of Tony!" Thor called out happily before he got pulled into a conversation with Narfi. Something Harry was deeply grateful towards Narfi for.
"Next to him is Robin Hood," Tony said as he motioned to Clint.
"Just call me Clint, kid," Clint grumbled out. Harry smiled softly.
"Ignore him, Harebare, he loves my nicknames. This is my brother in all but blood, Bruce Banner," Tony said as he wrapped an arm around Bruce.
"Hello, I was the one to help confirm that you were, in fact, Tony's son," Bruce said as he offered his hand.
"Oh, thanks for that, I guess," Harry said nervously as he shook Bruce's hand.
"Son of Tony! Can I have some of these?" Thor asked curiously as he pointed to the cookies that were cooling.
"No!" Harry said quickly. Everyone looked at Harry with curious looks. He blushed softly before clearing his throat. "No, they are still cooling." Not to mention he didn't get to put some up for Tony or himself.
Thor made a whining noise but Harry ushered them all to the table. He then noticed that Natasha was setting out plates. "Thanks for corralling the literal man-children, kiddo," she said with a smile. "Now sit down and fill up your plate before Thor eats everything again."
"Is this everyone who is going to be here for breakfast?" Harry questioned.
"The kids won't be over until after three. Something about a surprise," Tony said as he looked at Harry.
"Surprise? For who? What is with all the surprises?" Harry asked curiously.
"Hey, they wouldn't even tell me," Tony said with a grumble.
"Okaayy... What about...?" Harry asked, trailing off at the end.
"My children won't be here all at once." Loki said as he placed Harry's plate down in front of him. "My twins are here already, Jor was here but he had some business to tend to. He said he would be here around noon, so he will be here for lunch. Sleipnir said he would be here at around 10 so he will be here in a couple of hours. He said he wanted to check out the...Chaos Markets." Loki cleared his throat after that before speaking again. "Hel can't make it until tomorrow, she is updating some things on her end so she can stay around for a while more. Fenrir...Fenrir hasn't answered my portal calls," Loki said, worry coloring his tone.
"Maybe he's just busy, Dad?" Narfi said as he looked at Loki.
"He would have attempted to call me back at least, though," Loki lightly protested.
"If you want, I am sure Sleipnir wouldn't mind going to check on him," Vali said as he looked at his twin and then his father.
"I might actually do that if he doesn't call me back tonight," Loki managed to say before Sirius spoke.
"Fenrir? Does he have a last name?" Sirius asked cautiously.
"It's Lokison, but he has been also using the name Greyback for his pack," Loki explained.
"Shit," Sirius groaned. At this, Harry looked at them worriedly.
"What do you know?" Loki hissed out as he looked at Sirius.
"When...When was the last time you talked to him?" Sirius hesitantly asked.
"Around fifty years ago, but he was panicked, and I told him to lock him and his pack down," Loki said seriously.
Sirius sighed as he rubbed his face. "That was around the time that werewolves started getting violent towards wizards. The leader was a Fenrir Greyback," Sirius said cautiously.
"My puppy wouldn't harm Seidr users," Loki hotly protested.
"Something must have happened, then," Tony said, placing a hand on the male's arm.
"He's...He's also rumored to be working with noseless," Sirius said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Shit," Vali swore.
"No," Narfi wailed.
"We just have to find the wraith, Narfi," Vali said looking at his twin.
"The Wrath, find Fen, then help Pops with his surprise," Narfi listed off.
Harry looked at everyone at the table and he instantly felt like he was in the way. "Are you guys going to be here tomorrow, at least?" he asked before he really even registered it.
"Tomorrow?" Vali asked, confused.
"You wish to be blood adopted tonight?" Loki asked curiously.
"Right. Harebare, and I talked about it this morning. He figured he would be adopted before he went to bed tonight. That way he could just sleep through the night," Tony said, looking at Loki.
"We can do that," Loki said with a nod.
"It...It won't be a problem?" Harry asked weakly.
"No, it won't," Loki said seriously.
"Of course we would be here, Harry!" Vali said seriously.
"Like dad would let us miss out on the blood adoption of our soon-to-be little brother," Narfi teased.
Harry sighed at this. He started to eat his breakfast as he watched the others talk about this and that. Towards the end of breakfast, Harry grabbed his dishes and took them to the sink. Rinsing them off, he placed them in there before checking on the biscuits. They were done. He peeled them off the paper and put them in some containers. Glancing over, he could see Thor looking longingly at the biscuits. He could spare everyone at least one or three. Getting out enough plates for everyone here, he placed three on each plate. "Each of you has a plate and each one has three. The rest are mine," Harry declared as he put the rest of the no-bakes in containers for him to hide away in his room.
"Do I need to invest in a cookie freezer for your room?" Tony asked teasingly.
"No, that is what preservation charms are for," Harry sassed back.
"Preservation charms?" Tony asked curiously.
Realizing he was in a room full of people that didn't really know he had magic, he knew he had to throw this one on Loki and his children. "Jor told me about them. Vali said he would preserve my cookies for me."
Loki looked at Harry with a raised eyebrow. Vali snorted. "Kid! You." Vali started laughing. "Why did you say that! Dad is going to check over all the food we have now," Vali teased.
"It's just gonna be my cookies" Harry protested.
"Forget the food, I'll be doing an inspection of Harry's room for any food just being left out," Loki said with a sigh.
"I'm not that messy," Harry grumbled.
"Harry, doll, sweetheart, the iron in my suit, all teenage boys are messy," Tony said seriously.
"Way to have faith in me, Dad" Harry sassed.
"Loki! Stop influencing my child! He gets the sass from you!" Tony cried.
"Hahahahahaha ho, that's all James!" Sirius wheezed out.
"Huh?" Harry turned and looked at Sleipnir "Did you guys just get done with breakfast?"
"Yes, they did. I finished a while ago. Do you want some biscuits?" Harry asked curiously.
"I would love some. Did you make them?" Sleipnir asked curiously.
"Yes," Harry said as he got another plate and put three on there for the male.
Offering him the plate, Harry watched as Sleipnir ate one and smiled. "Delicious," Sleipnir said as he reached over and ruffled Harry's hair.
Harry huffed as he fixed his hair for the second time. "I'm taking my cookies to my room." Once Harry left the room, Loki sighed.
"So we can really find James, Fabian, and Gideon?" Sirius said, looking at Loki.
"Yes, I've pinned down their general area. We just need to track them on foot," Loki said with a huff.
"I can track them all down easily. Just drop me in the spot with some backup and I'll have them within two days," Sirius said boldly.
"Think you can do it by tomorrow, if I drop you off there now with two helpers?" Loki asked, looking at his twins.
"Can they keep up?" Sirius asked with a smirk.
"I am sure we can, little cub," Narfi said with a growl to his voice.
Vali rolled his eyes. "They're going to flirt the whole time," Vali complained.
"Oh, you know he's hot, Vali," Narfi protested.
"He didn't need to know that information, Narfi!" Vali protested loudly.
Sleipnir sighed. "Can you two act like adults, please?" the male protested tiredly.
"So are you three up for it?" Loki asked as he stood up.
"Hell yeah," Sirius said as he stood up.
"Sure!" Narfi said with a smirk as he stood as well.
"Someone has to keep those two in line," Vali grumbled.
Loki activated a portal. "Get to hunting," he said as he motioned for them to go. "Vali and Narfi will be able to transport you back when you three find them," Loki said seriously.
"On it, boss," Sirius said with a smirk as he shifted and took off, sniffing the air quickly before bolting.
"Come on, Vali! Don't fall behind" Narfi said before shifting into a reddish-brown wolf. Vali sighed tiredly before shifting into a panther and walking through the portal.
Loki closed it and he sighed. "Alright, that's James taken care of. I'll talk with the boys when they get back about Harry's school. Sleipnir, did you get the boy's school things?" Loki asked as he looked at his eldest.
"Yes, Father, I have three sets of the standard," Sleipnir said with a nod.
"Tony? What exactly is going on?" Steve asked as he looked at Loki and then Tony.
Loki and Tony looked at each other before Loki nodded. They had already gotten permission for this. "We know magic is real... but not everyone knows there is magic on earth." Tony took a deep breath "Harry's other parent was magical and through that magic, Harry came to be."
"Tony, it's not embarrassing, just say you got a woman pregnant out of wedlock," Steve complained.
"I am not ashamed to say that I did the hanky panky with women, Steve. And besides, it’s kind of impossible to get a man pregnant," Tony snarked out.
Loki snickered as he looked at Tony. But they were both surprised when Steve fainted. Loki burst out laughing as he held his sides and Tony just blinked as he stared at the passed-out Steve. "Did that bastard just faint on me? I was trying to explain something."
"It's not that impossible," Thor said seriously. "Asgard welcomes such relationships," Thor said seriously. "As long as both partners are consenting. I myself have blessed plenty of couples when they were with children," Thor said, confused.
"Thor, men don't get pregnant on Midgard," Natasha tried explaining to him. "Or, well, they normally don't," she amended. Tony just sighed as he rubbed his forehead. Some explanation this was.
